+With the introduction of python-3.11, the build has changes its use of an environment variable, and now uses
+{{{
+export MACH_BUILD_PYTHON_NATIVE_PACKAGE_SOURCE=none
+}}}
+to work around situations where the versions of modules pulled in for firefox are regarded by one of its scripts as being incompatible with other modules such as sphinx.

+Additionally, at the moment two seds are being used to fix code incompatible with python-3.11.

 For the moment, g++ can be used if you pass --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries but the changes in gcc-12 mean that the book has moved to using clang++, still without wasm.
